We continue where we left off. The Sun Incinerator has crashed on the beach. Greg, Pearl and Garnet rush over there. The top latch pops open. Garnet and Pearl Ready their weapons and approach slowly. Suddenly a small green hand waves at them.)
Peridot: It's us. (There is a sigh of relief. Pearl and Garnet assist the others out of there. One by one the gems and Lars emerge from the ship.)
Greg: Steven!
Stevonnie: Dad! (They rush at each other and hug).
Greg: Are you alright? Are you hurt?
Stevonnie: We're okay dad.
Pearl: Thank goodness you guys are alright.
Amethyst: Yeah it was one heck of a trip. And we could not have done it without Lars.
(Pearl looks at Lars an notices something different about him)
Pearl: Lars why are you Pink?
Lars: Steven can explain.
Stevonnie: You see Pearl, Before I came back to earth Lars suffered an accident that...took his life. I'm not sure what happened next. A tear fell from my eye and landed on his face. Next thing you know he's up and about.
Pearl: Really. That's absolutely amazing. I mean-
Garnet: Pearl you can ask that question later. We need to know what happened while you guys were out there.
Peridot: Well I was almost shattered so I can't remember any details before we escaped Homeworld. In my temporary abscense the Crystal Gems and Off Colors manage to steal a ship.
Lapis: However, the ship belonged to Green Emerald.
Garnet: Emerald? As in Emerald the Pirate?
Peridot: That's her.
Amethyst: It was not fun at all when we she caught up to us. But we got the jump on her and really messed up her spaceship.
Lapis: We managed to bring all the Off-Colors here. And we have surprised guest.
Garnet: Surprised guest? Who?
Rhodonite: That would be me.
Pearl: You're a fusion?
Rhodonite: A fusion and witness to Pink Diamonds demise.
Pearl: What do you mean. (Rhodonite unfuses into the separate forms. Pearl and Garnet are shocked) You..you are..
Pink Pearl: I am Pink Diamonds Pearl. (Garnet readies her weapon. The Ruby takes a fighting stance) Easy there fusion, I am not your enemy anymore. Ruby stand down.
Pearl: Garnet... (Garnet shields her weapons)
Pink Pearl: There is much we have to discuss crystal gems.
(Lars is walking on the beach. He picks up a scoopful of sand. Somehow it feels different than before. He looks in the distance. He see's Sadie sitting on a rock. She looks sad. Lars approaches her, he is slightly hesitant. She doesn't notice for she is deep in thought. She sees a shadow on the ground.)
Sadie: Mom, I told you already I'm fine. I just need some time for myself.
Lars: I'm not your mom
(Sadie tiresome eyes go wide open. She looks up.)
Sadie: L...Lars?
Lars: Yeah its me.
(She gets up and they look at each other. Tears start forming in her eyes.)
Sadie: Lars! (She jumps in his arms. Lars embraces also form in his eyes.) You idiot... we've been so worried about you. I was scared that I'd never see you again.
(Lars kisses her. She is surprised. She slowly closes her eyes and places her arms around Lars's neck. They are both blushing. Its a very long kiss. He breaks the kiss and looks at her. They both have tears in her eyes.)
Lars: Sadie. I'm so sorry I left you behind. You did'nt deserve that-no one did.
(Sadie wipes the tear from her face)
Sadie: I don't care about that. I'm just so relieved that you're here. (Lars wipe the tears from his face. Sadie takes a good look at him) You really have changed, haven't you?
(They hold hands and sit down)
Lars: Where do I begin?
( Sadie's mother, Barbara, is delivering mail to Frymans. She notices Sadie and Lars on the beach. She smiles at the thought that her daughter is happy again. Our scene switches to the Crystal Gem Temple. Pink Pearl is sitting on the couch. Garnet and Pearl are in a state of silence. The information they have just received is hard to accept.)
Pearl: This can't be.
Pink Pearl: I know that this is hard to accept. But, the fact is that we witnessed Pink Diamond shattering by White Diamond creation, Rose Quartz. Regardless of which, it was White Diamond.
Pearl: Your wrong Pearl. Rose Quartz is not White Diamonds creation. She was a crystal gem, created on earth.
Pink Pearl: Let me ask you both this. When was the last time you've seen another Rose quartz soldier? How did she just magically appear on the exact same day when the battle of Pink's Colony took place?
Pearl: Well I...um. I'm pretty sure that-
Pink Pearl: You see, even you can't explain it.
Garnet: If what you claim is true there must be evidence to support it.
Ruby: We are that evidence. We saw everything. Padparadscha, Flourite and the Rutile Twins were there as well.
(Pearls stands up and begin to walk away)
Pink Pearl: Where are you going?
Pearl: I need to clear out my head.
(She slams the door behind her)
Garnet: Well that went well.
Pink Pearl: I don't blame her actions. After hearing something like that, I also would be very upset.
Garnet: What I don't understand is why would White Diamond shatter Pink by...using Rose Quartz. What's there to gain?
Pink Pearl: Power, Garnet. There was a time when Pink Diamond defied the Diamond authority. I'm guessing that was the cause of her demise. But, something happened to Pink Diamond. She was a very loving gem. She cared about humans and defectives gems, such as the Off-Colors. She taught us that we can be more than what we are. Pearl knew that once. One day White Diamond visited Pink Diamond. I was shortly notified afterwards about her arrival. However, I was managing a section of the colony at the time. When I met up with Pink something was different about her.
Garnet: What could have been different?
Pink Pearl: Her eyes, they were dull and so cold. Was I looking at the same Diamond that I was made to serve? Was I looking at my friend? But, I did not question her orders. I remained faithful at her side. I just don't know what caused her to change so much. Mabye I will never know. I just really want to know the truth behind all of this.
(Garnet is silent to that response)
Garnet: This place has been our home for thousands of years. You, and your Off-Colors, are more than welcome to stay.
(Pink Pearl and Ruby hold hands and fuse into Rhodonite)
Rhodonite: Thank you Garnet.
(They are both leaving. Garnet notices Pearl leaning against the wall)
Pearl: Do you actually trust her Garnet?
Garnet: Yes. Her actions are sincere.
Pearl: Let's keep an eye on her for now. Just incase she tries to pull anything.
Garnet: I'll let you know before she does.
(Meanwhile at the crash sight, Peridot, Lapis and Amethyst are at the crash sight. Peridot is trying to salvage any gem tech that has not been destroyed. Lapis is getting frustrated)
Lapis: How much longer are we going to be here for?
Amethyst: Yea, I've got better things to do. Like eating this burrito. (She munches on the burrito.)
Lapis: What are you looking for anyway?
(Peridot is tossing things out of the ship. There is banging and crashing sounds)
Peridot: Just looking for any gem tech that I can salvage and use. However, I was trying to figure out something. (crash noise) Ouch. (Tossing things)
Lapis: Like what?
Peridot: This is probably sounds like a far fetched theory, but I don't think Emerald just happen to stumble on our coordinates while we we're out in space by mere coincidence. I think she knew where we were.
(Amethyst finishes the burrito)
Amethyst: Like she was tracking us?
Peridot: Thats what I am trying to find out. This ship belonged to her and I think there is some kind of transmitting device hidden in this wreckage. If you guys want to leave, then go. I am going to be here for a while.
Lapis: Alright then. I'll be heading back to the barn.
Peridot: Since you are heading that way, can you take some of this stuff over there?
Lapis: Sure thing. (She takes some of the scraped equipment and she flies away)
Peridot: Amethyst, if you could take the rest that will be a great help.
Amethyst: What do you plan to to with all this junk?
(Peridot comes out with a clever Idea.)
Peridot: Splicing the Gem Tech with Human Tech. My idea would allow us to intercept any of Homeworlds transmissions. Thus giving us the opportunity to prepare against any incursions ahead of time.
Amethyst: Yeah I suppose it does make sense.
Peridot: There is some doubt in your response. What's wrong.
Amethyst: Well I was just thinking about Jasper. What she said before she became corrupted. That she would not stop until she avenged her Diamond.
Peridot: You feel bad for her?
Amethyst: More like pity. I can't imagine doing the same thing over and over until you get results. That would drive anyone insane.
Peridot: Yeah, I can relate to that.
(Amethyst and Peridot carry stuff back to the barn. Meanwhile Stevonnie and Greg are at Its A wash. Stevonnie tell him about everything that went on in outer space.)
Greg: So let me guess this straight. This Pink Pearl is a valuable witness that needs protection from Homeworld.
Stevonnie: Yeah that sums everthing up.
Greg: And that why the Pirate Gem attacked you guys?
Stevonnie: That's what we were thinking.
Greg: Well I'm just glad its over now and you both are safe and sound. Usually I would have panic attack but you two are really holding out on your own.
(There is a vehicle approach the wash. Its Connie's mother, Maheswaran. Stevonnie can't let her see them like this. But there is no time to unfuse. She stops the vehicle and steps out. Greg and Stevonnie look at each other as she approaches.)
Greg: Oh Boy? Does she know?
Stevonnie: No she doesn't.
Priyanka: Hello do you have a moment?
Greg: Yeah, Sure. What can I do for you?
Priyanka: I was wondering if you have seen Connie. She left me a note saying she was going on a science trip to the exploratorium. I called them but they haven't seen her. I was wondering if she was with your son.
Greg: Yes, she is with Steven and-
Stevonnie: Dad she needs to know the truth.
Priyanka: Who are you?
Stevonnie: I should have told you earlier about my trip but I didn't get a chance too.
Priyanka: What are you-
(Stevonnie separates herself into Steven and Connie. is speechless.)
Connie: I was going to tell you mom about the fusion. It just happened by random.
Priyanka: You could have told me about this Fusion thing. (There is an angry look on her face. Then it changes to a look of content) But, I have to say you still keep on amazing me with you talents.
Connie: Thanks mom.
Priyanka: Thank you for watching her for me.
Greg: Sure thing.
Connie: Mom you won't believe the adventure I just had with Steven.
Priyanka: Tell me about it while I drive.
Connie: It's a story that will leave you at the edge of your seat.
(They get in the car and drive off. Steven and Greg wave them off.)
Greg: Wow I was expecting a scolding. I mean she is usually overprotective and uptight about Connie going out somewhere.
Steven: She'd seen Connie fight cluster gems at the hospital. Connie expressed how she felt and her mom understood.
Greg: This kinda takes me back when I was young. My Parents didn't allow me to play rock with my guitar because they thought it was only distracting me from college. I told them that playing guitar was my passion. At first they were disappointed about my decision but they wanted me to be happy. I moved to beach city where I met new people that would eventually become my friends and where I met your mother for the first time Steven. Those are the memories that last for a lifetime. Make sure you enjoy those memories.
(Steven hugs Greg)
Steven: I will dad.
(They get in the universe van)
Greg: Man I'm starving, what do you say about Pizza for tonight?
Steven: That sounds great.
(the scene switches to Lars home. He thanks Barbara for the ride and kisses Sadie on the forehead. They drop off Lars. Lars walks to the front door of his parents house. He is hesistant on knocking, but he does so regardless. His mother opens the door. She has a look of shock on her face. There is no voices to be heard for this part. Use your imagination for the imagery. Lars's mother rushes at her sun and gives him one hell of a hug. The Father is wondering what is the commotion and heads to the front door. He sees Lars, he also rushes over and hugs his son. His mother looks at his hair and wonders why its so different, along with his skin color. In the living room, Lar's explains to his parents why he was missing for the last three days and how his appearance changed. He tells them about all about Crystal Gems and the roles they commit too in defending earth. His parents are just glad he is alright. Lars has had a long day. He tells his parents thats he's going to bed. They give him a goodnight. Lars enter his room and closes the door. He looks around in his room. everything inside is exactly how he left it but at the same time looks so different. He falls on his bed, He doesn't even bother taking of the cape. He closes his eyes and dozes off. Our scene switches back to the Temple. The Off-Colors and the Crystal gems are getting ready to retire for the evening. Garnet sets up a pull-out couch for Rhodonite, Pearls gets an Inflatable matress for the Rutile Twins and Padparadscha. Flourite curls up in a ball.)
Garnet: Good night you guys. If you need anything, let us know.
(The lights turn off. Everyone is starting to doze off. Flourite is still curled up in a ball. Rutile twins are knock out. Rhodonite can't sleep. Being back on earth brings back so many memories, both good and bad. She turns on her left side. She looks and realizes that Padparadscha is not there. She gets up in a panic, frantically looking around for her. The she sees Padparadscha sitting on the railing of the balcony. She looks towards the ocean. Rhodonite opens the door and joins her. She leans on the rail. she waits for a few moments)
Padparadscha: Hey Rhodonite, You can't sleep either?
Rhodonite: You can say that. What are you thinking about? (She waits for a few seconds)
Padparadscha: I was thinking about Earth and Pink. I remember the moment I emerged from the earths crust, seening my Diamond for the first time.
(Flash back. Pink Diamond places her hand to the ground. Paparadscha is hesitant due to a minimal sense of fear. She soothes away her fear with her kind voice)
Pink Diamond: Come here. It's alright.
(Padparadscha slowly approaches her. She walks onto her hand. Pink Diamond raises her hand. She brings Paparadscha to her face.)
Pink Diamond: Hello gem. Do you know who I am? (Padparadscha gestures no with her head.) I am Pink Diamond, your creator. Do you know what you are?
Padparadscha: I am a sapphire.
Pink Diamond: And what is the power you possess?
Padparadscha: I have the power to predict the past.
(Pink Diamond is suprised to that response. Nevertheless, she smiles at her.)
Pink Diamond: That's right my little sapphire. Your power is to predict the past. That is a wonderful gift. Never doubt that.
(Padparadscha smiles. Yellow Diamond appears on the scene.)
Yellow Diamond: Is that suppose to be your personal sapphire? Just look how Off-Colored it is.
(Pink Diamond content mood goes away with a look of annoyance)
Pink Diamond: That's enough Yellow.
Yellow Diamond: It's an embarrassment to all the other sapphires in existence. You know this Pink.
(Pink Diamond stand up with a stern mood)
Pink Diamond: If you have nothing better to say Yellow, you are more than welcome to leave my colony.
Yellow Diamond: Fine I'll leave. I can't stand watching something like this.
(She leaves the area. Pink Diamond turn her attention towards the Off-Colored Sapphire)
Pink Diamond: Don't pay attention to her. The only thing Yellow Diamond knows is how to critisize something that is not perfect. (she notices that tears are falling from her cheek. She moves Padparadscha bangs to see her eye.) Let me tell you this sapphire. If all things were perfect there would be no moment worth living. Imperfections is what makes a gem unique, beautiful and wonderful in everyway. (She wipes the tears from her face. Pink Diamond gets an idea) You know what, because you are so unique I've decided to give you a new name. Instead of Sapphire, You will be called Padparadscha. Would you like that?
(A few seconds to respond. Padparadscha smiles)
Padparadscha: Yes, I would like that.
Pink Diamond walks away. Yellow and another Diamond watch from a distance. While Yellow looks on with disappointment, Blue Diamond looks on with a slight form of captivation on her face)
Yellow Diamond: What did I tell you Blue, Pink is too flawed to have any reasoning. I am returning back to Homeworld. Are you coming?
Blue Diamond: I'll be along shortly. (Yellow is somewhat surprised that she wants to stay. Blue Diamond head off in Pinks direction. Yellow follows her, just keeping Blue within her sights. Yellow sees Pink Diamond place Padparadscha on the ground. Many Gems, Normal and Off-Colors greet Padparadscha. Pink Diamond smiles in contentment.)
Blue Diamond: Yellow is right you know. (Pink Diamond turns around and sees Blue Diamond) As a Diamond I too desire things to be perfect, including our subjects who serve the us, The Great Diamond Authority. So tell me this Pink, why would you want defective and Off-Colored gems in you service? What do you possibly see in them? What could they contribute to Homeworld and to us Diamonds?
(Pink thinks for a moment then responds)
Pink Diamond: Love.
Blue Diamond:Love?
Pink Diamond: Yes.
Blue Diamond: Show me then.
(Yellow Diamond watches from afar. The look of jealousy has ignited in her eyes as she watches Blue spend time with Pink. The Flash Back ends. Rhodonite knows that Padparadscha has seen a glimpse of the future. Padparadscha yawns)
Rhodonite: I miss her too paparadscha. But there is nothing that can be done do. We cannot undo the past. (A few seconds pass)
Padparadscha: I know Rhodonite.
Rhodonite: Well its late Padparadscha, lets get some sleep while we can.
Padparadscha: Okay.
(Rhodonite picks up Padparadscha and enters the beach house. The night goes by and the dawn draws near. The sun rises over the mountains, lighting up the city with a red hue of dawn. For this part you guys listen to Edvard Grieg morning mood , to set the theme. The restaurants open for bussiness. , Peedee and Ronaldo Fryman prepare the kitchen of Beach Citywalk Fries with a sense of balet fashion. Next door Kofi, Kiki, Jenny and Nanefua do the same thing. Barbara is delivering mail. Sadie and Lars are working a shift at Big Donut.)
Sadie: Lars can you hand me a tray of carrot creme donuts?
Lars: Coming right up.
(Bill Dewey is at the office looking at legislations to approve)
Secretary: the public is wondering when you are going approve parking meter payment reductions?
Bill Dewey: Tell the reporters that I will approve a twenty five cent reduction rate for hourly parking in Beach city.
(Vidalia is selling her art on the beach front with sour with Onion. Sour Cream plays his music at a beach party. Yellowtail is out fishing on his boat. Greg is teaching kids how to utilize the electric guitar. Harold Smiley is operating and managing Beach City Funland. Mystery Girl is racing Kevin on the outskirts of the city. All is normal at Beach City. Meanwhile Peridot has been up all night altering the ipad, the one steven gave her, to be compatible with gem technology. After many trials and errors, she finally create the Gem-Pad.)
Peridot: Yes! YES! I finally done it. Oh, how I waited to get my hand on new gem tech.
(She hold the gem tech with her hands. She touches the location app. Suddenly the screen goes black. There is a bandwidth signal going out. Its making a blip noise, kinda like 80's technology)
Peridot: Wait. Wait a moment. What is this? Where is this signal coming from.
(She navigates the barn with the Gem-Pad. The signal is coming from the salvage equipment. She digs through the materials and finds a small glowing metallic alloy based sphere. She puts the Gem Pad next to it. Sure enough the signal is coming from it)
Peridot: You're sending out a signal. Where too?
(She uses the Gem Pad to calculate the distance of the signal endpoint. There is an end to the signal. But its moving. Then Peridot uses the Gem-Pad to map out the signals endpoint. The Gem-Pad reveals the layout of a large gem ship heading straight toward earth and at beach city's location.)
Peridot: OH MY STARS. (She darts upstairs) Lapis! LAPIS WAKE UP! (Lapis is half asleep)
Lapis: What's your deal? It's only (looks at the clock) nine in the morning.
Peridot: We got to go to beach city. We got to leave right now! We have to warn the Crystal Gems.
Lapis: Why? What going on?
Peridot: It's Emerald. She's coming. (Lapis snaps out of her sleepiness)
Lapis: Get on! (Lapis throws Peridot on her back and flys off towards Beach city with great haste.)
